Three things I like very much are watches, Transformers, and 80s toy ads. This video embodies all three of those things at once, and it blows my mind. Not to mention that a pop up, Ultra Magnus action figure watch watch is the coolest thing since the pet rock. Seriously, where do I get one of these? [Gadget Lab] »3/18/08 10:00pm 3/18/08 10:00pm

Samsung has just popped out a ridiculously large 82" LCD TV, boasting ultra high-definition resolution of 3840 x 2160. That is a four-times increase on conventional LCD standards, and word on the street is Japan has already begun testing video broadcast in ultra high-definition. We are sure that'll eat bandwidth… »1/09/08 6:00pm 1/09/08 6:00pm

The Skinny: NVIDIA's GeForce 9800, launching in late Feb / early March, will be successor to the 8800 Ultra. With an estimated 30% performance increase over the aforementioned top end GPU, and apparent support for "Quad SLI," it is certainly no slacker. »1/04/08 4:54am 1/04/08 4:54am

We all knew Beyoncé was fronting Samsung's Ultra Phone, and we all guessed that the dual-screen cell would probably come in red, white, and black (we were so thankful they nixed it in pink), but did we have a clue that it would come in juicy orange and fabulous electric blue? Nope, we'll freely admit that we didn't… »3/19/07 9:15am 3/19/07 9:15am

Attention those of you who care about UMPCs. Samsung's Taiwan site "accidentally" put up a shot of what they're going to reveal at CeBIT, and among the devices is a Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC.

Samsung's gone and upped their Ultra Edition 10.9 (10.9mm thick) with the Ultra Edition 5.9, which is 5.9mm thick. For those of you who can't do the math, that's 0.23 inches thick!

We've seen LEDs in lots of different places before, but this one's our personal favorite. Strap this four-pack of lights to your fingers and let the finger-pointing begin. If you're feeling macho, go on and point the lights at someone till you piss them off. The lights can project up to a mile away which gives you… »10/20/06 2:47pm 10/20/06 2:47pm

Having taken the Lego philosophy of design to heart, Ultra Products is releasing a series of peripherals that stack on top of each other to form a tower of technology.
